Various methods have been investigated to quantify the amount of stratum corneum removed by tape stripping [37], Use of differential transparency measurements of sequentially stripped stratum corneum has been used to develop a profile of stripped layers [38,39], Weighing and quantification of the sodium hydroxide soluble protein fraction, along with spectrophotometric protein analysis of the tape, has been used successfully to provide information regarding layer composition obtained through sequential strippings [40,41], Because of furrows... 

Between 45-75% of the total solids in the citrus peel and membrane has been found to be insoluble in alcohol (Table II), and the main portion of this alcohol-insoluble material is complex carbohydrate (. The alcohol-insoluble solids (AIS) of the coarse pulp Is also largely complex carbohydrate, and It also contains proteins and Inorganic salts ( ). Of the complex carbohydrates, pectin Is by far the most Important fraction. Rouse et al. (7) divided the pectlc substances into water soluble, oxalate soluble, and sodium hydroxide soluble fractions in their study. Eaks and Sinclair ( ) found a difference in the composition of the hemlcellulose-cellulose fraction between the mature and Immature Valencia orange peel AIS.

C12H9N3O4. A brownish-red powder, soluble in sodium hydroxide. Used for the detection and estimation of magnesium, with which it forms a blue lake in alkaline solutions. 

By analogy, ammonium salts should behave as acids in liquid ammonia, since they produce the cation NH4 (the solvo-cation ), and soluble inorganic amides (for example KNHj, ionic) should act as bases. This idea is borne out by experiment ammonium salts in liquid ammonia react with certain metals and hydrogen is given off. The neutralisation of an ionic amide solution by a solution of an ammonium salt in liquid ammonia can be carried out and followed by an indicator or by the change in the potential of an electrode, just like the reaction of sodium hydroxide with hydrochloric acid in water. The only notable difference is that the salt formed in liquid ammonia is usually insoluble and therefore precipitates. 

The hydroxides M (OH)2 are generally less soluble and are of lower base strength. The Group I hydroxides are almost unique in possessing good solubility—most metal hydroxides are insoluble or sparingly soluble hence sodium hydroxide and, to a lesser extent potassium hydroxide, are widely used as sources of the hydroxide ion OH" both in the laboratory and on a large scale. 

Why is potassium aluminium sulphate not soluble in benzene A compound M has the composition C = 50.0% H=12.5%o A1 = 37.5%. 0.360 g of M reacts with an excess of water to evolve 0.336 1 of gas N and leave a white gelatinous precipitate R. R dissolves in aqueous sodium hydroxide and in hydrochloric acid. 20 cm of N require 40 cm of oxygen for complete combustion, carbon dioxide and water being the only products. Identify compounds N and R, suggest a structural formula for M, and write an equation for the reaction of M with water. (All gas volumes were measured at s.t.p.)... 

Although the acetylation of alcohols and amines by acetic anhydride is almost invariably carried out under anhydrous conditions owing to the ready hydrolysis of the anhydride, it has been shown by Chattaway (1931) that phenols, when dissolved in aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and shaken with acetic anhydride, undergo rapid and almost quantitative acetylation if ice is present to keep the temperature low throughout the reaction. The success of this method is due primarily to the acidic nature of the phenols, which enables them to form soluble sodium derivatives, capable of reacting with the acetic... 

Reactions of Nitromethane. (1) Nitromethane, although only slightly soluble in cold water, is freely soluble in sodium hydroxide solution, the alkaline solution slowly becoming yellow in colour. 

The recrystallisation of diazoaminobenzene has to be performed with care, as the substance is freely soluble in most liquids and tends moreover to decompose if its solution is not rapidly cooled. Place 2 g. of the crude, freshly prepared, well-drained material in a boiling-tube, add about 15-20 ml. of ethanol and 1-2 drops of 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, and then heat rapidly until boiling if the solution should contain insoluble impurities, filter through a small fluted paper, and at once cool the filtrate in ice-water. The diazoaminobenzene should rapidly crystallise out from the cold and stirred solution filter the crystals rapidly at the pump whilst the solution is still cold, as... 

On the addition of sodium hydroxide, the sparingly soluble sodium salt of methyl-orange, NaOsSCeHgN .NCgHgNfCHj), will crystallise out. 

Arylarsonic acids have usually a very low solubility in cold water. They are however amphoteric, since with, for example, sodium hydroxide they form sodium salts as above and with acids such as hydrochloric acid they form salts of the type [CaHjAsCOHljlCl. Both types of salt are usually soluble in water, and to isolate the free acid the aqueous solution has to be brought to the correct pH for most arsonic acids this can be achieved by niaking the solution only just acid to Congo Red, when the free acid will usually rapidly separate. 

Solubility in sodium hydroxide solution. See Section 4, p. 329. Note also that phenols dissolve in NaOH solution to give phenoxides. 

Action of sodium hydroxide. Boil about 0 2 g. of glucose with 5 of 10% NaOH solution the mixture turns yellow, then brown, and emits the odour of caramel. Fructose, maltose, lactose and soluble starch behave similarly sucrose and ordinary starch do not give colorations. 

Z>) Toluene-p-sulphonylotion (p. 247). Proceed as in 3(a), but using 1 5 g of toluene-p-sulphonyl chloride, either finely pow dered or in concentrated acetone solution. Note. The sulphonyl derivative of a primary amine is soluble in aqueous sodium hydroxide, and the final solution must be diluted and acidified to precipitate the product. Recrystallise and take the m.p. (M.ps., pp. 550-551.)... 

Dilute sodium hydroxide solution (and also sodium carbonate solution and sodium bicarbonate solution) can be employed for the removal of an organic acid from its solution in an organic solvent, or for the removal of acidic impurities present in a water-insoluble solid or liquid. The extraction is based upon the fact that the sodium salt of the acid is soluble in water or in dilute alkali, but is insoluble in the organic solvent. Similarly, a sparingly soluble phenol, e.g., p-naphthol, CioH,.OH, may be removed from its solution in an organic solvent by treatment with sodium hydroxide solution. 

By treatment with anhydrous aluminium chloride (Holmes and Beeman, 1934). Ordinary commercial, water-white benzene contains about 0 05 per cent, of thiophene. It is first dried with anhydrous calcium chloride. One litre of the dry crude benzene is shaken vigorously (preferably in a mechanical shaking machine) with 12 g. of anhydrous aluminium chloride for half an hour the temperature should preferably be 25-35°. The benzene is then decanted from the red liquid formed, washed with 10 per cent, sodium hydroxide solution (to remove soluble sulphur compounds), then with water, and finally dried over anhydrous calcium chloride. It is then distilled and the fraction, b.p. 79-5-80-5°, is collected. The latter is again vigorously shaken with 24 g. of anhydrous aluminium chloride for 30 minutes, decanted from the red liquid, washed with 10 per cent, sodium hydroxide solution, water, dried, and distilled. The resulting benzene is free from thiophene. 

Divide the saturated solution of n-butyl alcohol in water into three approximately equal parts. Treat these respectively with about 2-5 g. of sodium chloride, potassium carbonate and sodium hydroxide, and shake each until the soli have dissolved. Observe the effect of these compounds upon the solubility of n-butanol in water. These results illustrate the phenomenon of salting out of organic compounds, t.e., the decrease of solubility of organic compounds in water when the solution is saturated with an inorganic compound. The alcohol layer which separates is actually a saturated solution of water in n-butyl alcohol. 

An alternative method for isolating the n-butyl ether utilises the fact that n-butyl alcohol is soluble in saturated calcium chloride solution whilst n-butyl ether is slightly soluble. Cool the reaction mixture in ice and transfer to a separatory fimnel. Wash cautiously with 100 ml. of 2-5-3N sodium hydroxide solution the washings should be alkaline to litmus. Then wash with 30 ml. of water, followed by 30 ml. of saturated calcium chloride solution. Dry with 2-3 g. of anhydrous calcium chloride, filter and distil. Collect the di-n-butyl ether at 139-142°. The yield is 20 g. 

When the derivative is appreciably soluble in ether, the following alternative procedure may be employed. Dissolve the cold leaction mixture in about 60 ml. of ether, wash it with 20-30 ml. of 10 per cent, hydrochloric acid (to remove the excess of base), followed by 20 ml. of 10 per cent, sodium hydroxide solution, separate the ether layer, and evaporate the solvent [CAUTION/]. Recrystallise the residue from dilute alcohol. 

Aliphatic amides may be hydrolysed by boiling with 10 per cent, sodium hydroxide solution to the corresponding acid (as the sodium salt) the alkahne solution should be acidified with dilute sulphuric acid any water-soluble acid may then be distilled from the solution. Alternatively, hydrolysis may be eflfected with 10-20 per cent, sulphuric acid. The resulting ahphatic acid (usually a liquid) may be characterised as detailed in Section 111,85. 

Salts of amines are generally soluble in water. Upon treatment with 10 per cent, sodium hydroxide solution, the amine will separate if it is insoluble or sparingly soluble in water if the amine is water-soluble, it can be partially volatilised by gentle warming and its presence will be suggested by a characteristic odour. 

Urea oxalate is also sparingly soluble in amyl alcohol and since urea is soluble in this alcohol, the property may be utilised in separating urea from mixtures. An aqueous extract of the mixture is rendered slightly alkaline with sodium hydroxide solution and extracted with ether this removes all the basic components, but not urea. The residual aqueous solution is extracted with amyl alcohol (to remove the urea) upon adding this extract to a solution of oxalic acid in amyl alcohol crystalline urea oxalate is precipitated. 

The interaction of iodoaobenzene and iodoxybenzene in the presence of aqueous sodium hydroxide yields the soluble diphenyllodonium iodate (IV) upon adding potassium iodide solution, the sparingly soluble diphenyliodonium iodide (V), analogous to ammonium iodide is precipitated ... 

In general, benzoylation of aromatic amines finds less application than acetylation in preparative work, but the process is often employed for the identification and characterisation of aromatic amines (and also of hydroxy compounds). Benzoyl chloride (Section IV, 185) is the reagent commonly used. This reagent is so slowly hydrolysed by water that benzoylation can be carried out in an aqueous medium. In the Schotten-Baumann method of benzoylation the amino compound or its salt is dissolved or suspended in a slight excess of 8-15 per cent, sodium hydroxide solution, a small excess (about 10-15 per cent, more than the theoretical quantity) of benzoyl chloride is then added and the mixture vigorously shaken in a stoppered vessel (or else the mixture is stirred mechanically). Benzoylation proceeds smoothly and the sparingly soluble benzoyl derivative usually separates as a solid. The sodium hydroxide hydrolyses the excess of benzoyl chloride, yielding sodium benzoate and sodium chloride, which remain in solution ... 

The sodium salt of methyl red may be prepared by dissolving the crude product in an equal weight of 35 per cent, sodium hydroxide which has been diluted to 350 ml., hitoring, and evaporating under diminished pressure (Fig. II, 37, I). The resulting sodium salt forms orange leaflets. This water-soluble product is very convenient for use as an indicator. Incidentally, the toluene extraction is avoided. 

Method 2. Place a 3 0 g. sample of the mixture of amines in a flask, add 6g. (4-5 ml.) of benzenesulphonyl chloride (or 6 g. of p-toluenesulphonyl chloride) and 100 ml. of a 5 per cent, solution of sodium hydroxide. Stopper the flask and shake vigorously until the odour of the acid chloride has disappeared open the flask occasionally to release the pressure developed by the heat of the reaction. AUow the mixture to cool, and dissolve any insoluble material in 60-75 ml. of ether. If a solid insoluble in both the aqueous and ether layer appears at this point (it is probably the sparingly soluble salt of a primary amine, e.g., a long chain compound of the type CjH5(CH2) NHj), add 25 ml. of water and shake if it does not dissolve, filter it off. Separate the ether and aqueous layers. The ether layer will contain the unchanged tertiary amine and the sulphonamide of the secondary amine. Acidify the alkaline aqueous layer with dilute hydrochloric acid, filter off the sulphonamide of the primary amine, and recrystaUise it from dilute alcohol. Extract the ether layer with sufficient 5 per cent, hydrochloric acid to remove all the tertiary amine present. Evaporate the ether to obtain the sulphonamide of the secondary amine recrystaUise it from alcohol or dilute alcohol. FinaUy, render the hydrochloric acid extract alkaline by the addition of dilute sodium hydroxide solution, and isolate the tertiary amine.
